Classroom shortage
The Philippine Star

Corruption affects all aspects of government services. The current focus is on flood control, due to massive flooding last month that forced the suspension of classes and government work for a week in Metro Manila and several other areas in Luzon.
But apart from flood control, the Department of Education is also calling attention to the slow construction of classrooms. A Senate inquiry showed that it took up to three years to finish the construction of classrooms, at a cost of at least P2.5 million each. Little wonder that public schools under DepEd have a shortage of 165,000 classrooms.
